Outdoor ritual scene at dusk under a tin-roofed pavilion with a stone pillar. In the right foreground a seated figure in white ritual cloth with a gold-bordered shawl, wearing a tall white cap with a golden crest and red-beaded necklaces, sits before brass lamps, a tall brass oil lamp stand, and a brass kalasha-type vessel on a low platform, with a marigold garland draped nearby. On the left, several people in white clothes and orange shawls stand watching, one in saffron-orange cloth. A bare lamp glows overhead and a water tank stands beyond the wall. The image is a photo of a puja setting; the seated figure's identity is not established from appearance.
